- Summary:
- Two hundred years of industry have transformed the British landscape. "Industry in the Landscape" enables the reconstruction of the landscape of past industry. The authors are industrial archaeologists of national standing whose concern is to use surviving material evidence and contemporary sources to study the former working conditions of men and women. Comprehensive in coverage, the book examines fuels, metals, clothing, food, building and transport. It makes clear the tangible elements which form the basis for the recreation of past landscapes and demonstrates both their function and the context with which they should be associated.
